As early as 10, I was fascinated by science. My love started with rocks, and I still have a vivid memory of my excitement during an elementary school test wandering around the classroom identifying thrm. Since then, my interests in science have grown and evolved, whittling down to microbiology by the time I was an undergraduate. Since then, I will have had two and half years of research experience with bacteria through both my undergraduate research experience and the completion of my Master's degree. My focus has always been functional genomic and molecular microbiology, studying the intrinsic characteristics of various bacteria through a number of techniques. The culmination of my undergraduate research resulted in the completion of an undergraduate thesis and separate co-first author publication, along with my colleague in the lab. I am expected to defend my Master's thesis in the fall. Apart from my research, my education has focused on diversity and outreach within the scientific community. From helping create the charter for an Undergraduate Biology Advisory Council in my undergrad to the completion of the Diversity and Inclusion Badge Program in my graduate career, this is an area of the science community that I care deeply about on a personal level.
A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States
Worked as a teaching assistant for an intensive Biotechnology course for gifted students aged 13-16. Taught some lessons and maintained notes on student and class progress. Prepared and ran labs concerning various aspects of biotechnology.
Kingston, Rhode Island, United States
As a graduate student at the University of Rhode Island, I am contributing to research as part of the Kathryn Ramsey lab. As a part of this lab, I am working with the Live Vaccine Strain (LVS) of Francisella tularensis, an intracellular pathogen which has been attenuated in humans, but retains pathogenicity in rodent models. The laboratory has found that a specific ribosomal protein homolog is important for virulence in this pathogen and the data are consistent with this ribosomal protein controlling gene expression. My project is specifically studying how production of the three homologs of this ribosomal protein, which lead to heterogenous ribosomes, are regulated.
Kingston, Rhode Island, United States
As a teaching assistant in the Cell and Molecular Department at the University of Rhode Island, I taught multiple sections of undergraduate Integrative Microbiology lab. Accordingly, I taught both basic and more specific microbiological techniques and scientific writing and communication. I assessed student learning through both formal assessments (exams, lab reports, etc) and through one on one interaction during contact hours. Aside from interaction with students I also prepped presentations, prepared media, and performed standard grading.
